Ok heres the situation, me and a buddy changed the oil in my s13 last night, (i have a broken hand so i cant do it by myself) before we changed it he made me go get a nipon oil filter which cost 4.95 + tax. I said to him dude does it really mater? why cant i just use a different brand? He went off saying that nipon only!! and wouldnt stop.

My question is, does it mater which oil filter you use? Yes? Then what one do you prefer.

Note, engine is KADE

Can't go wrong with OEM.

I used to use FRAM, but everyone keep telling me it sucks, so I switched back to OEM.

remember there is a reason why the manufacturers chose that filter. Purolator used to be good but the size of them decreased.

i noticed fram oil filters changed in size over the past few years. oem is always the way to go.

OEM=Original Equipment Manufacturer. In this case that would be Nissan. So you can buy it at the Nissan dealer.

Fram X2 & Fram Extended Guard are the best of the fram lineups. Compareable to Mobil1 and Purolator in construction and design. Motorcraft FL-400S (oversized), Purolator 20195 (oversized)
All good filters

Motorcraft is the cheapest one. wal mart stocks them

i use bosch 3400

Plzzzzzzzzzzzz guys no OEM nissan filters i heard in testing from my automotive instuctor said it did allot worse in testing than the fram and FRAM sucks ass Bosch, Mobil 1 r the ones I use after hearing wat the techniocian instructor said and because i work at nissan as a lube tech all the tech says is that OEM nissan oil filters r no good SORRY 2 say

TheSquidd

For my KA I used the OEM because I didn't care.

On my SR I use K&N because I work here, I know our shit rocks, (better than Mobil 1 some cases), and the nut on top makes changing that SR oil filter 100x easier.

But FRAM? NEVER. It's made out of recycled junk mail.

I use K&N on my VQ, but I used to use Bosch on my KA since I worked right next to a Kragen. I would avoid Fram like the plague.

chester_ff7

personally i wouldnt trust the 5 dollar filters... you get what you pay for.. i use the K&N oil filter...

Wix oil filter.

Link to said testing? Your going to have to show some proof of this. Why would Nissan make crappy filters so that the cars they sell can then come back with problems, witch they would have to cover under warranty. Yeah. Makes no sense. They'd lose a lot of money that way. You can tell its not cheap. For instance, the KA Oil filter is a heavy mofo and if I remember the picture that someone took of the filter inside it was pretty thick aswell...
